Excellent perspective, with the dune soaring into the sky. I am enjoying the subtle, understated colors, too. Very nicely done.

It looks like an eroded pyramid to me

Beautiful sky, i really like the hint of sun beams behind the apex. Very nice.

Hamed, I like this view! Harley and Stan's comments cover my thought as well. I love the way the sky looks and the wonderful textures and ripples in the sand. That is always amazing to see in your images.

Amazing light in the sky accompanied by some wonderful textures and details in the sand. Beautifully done, Hamed.

Simple composition that works well. The sky makes the image for me.

As noted, the beams are a great touch. The lines of the dune work well with the pyramid shape.

It's that subtle golden light in that beautiful sky that makes this shot for me Hamed!

A very "direct" and imposing composition. It works very well. Light and processing look very good.

You've captured a wonderful light quality in the sky Hamed. I especially like the subtle rays of sun as they filter through the sky. Your processing is very natural, and the color and texture of the sand in the foreground is fantastic. From a compositional standpoint, you were very wise to include those tiny slivers of distant dunes that slant upward near the edge of the photo. That helps my eye from sliding off the edge of the composition. Strangely enough, if I cover those up with my thumbs, I get an almost uneasy feeling because of the angles of the sand. Those two triangular corners help ground the image, and give a sense of which way is up.

Classic for your style, Hamed, though a bit cooler than some of your images. Amazing how many great clouds this desert seems to get.
